FILTERED THROUGH MY HEART

If my Mother's life had continued
she would have lived to 91 years total,
of "Sullen Attitude!"
Tortured soul, moody, never stable, Up & Down!
Never a good word could be heard,
for anyone around!
Even her best friends, and my own father
(secretly) were constantly "Put Down!"
When an innocent child,
finds themselves born to a Mother, such as she.
They cannot reason, nor fathom,
Why was I born on her family tree?
She was my Mother not by choice.
It's a fact, I had no voice!
But, she was still my Mother.....
and always will be!
For you see, it was impossible for me,
to be put back, and given to another!
Kind, innocent, loving, and sensitive heart.
Resided in me from birth's start.
Cruel, unusual punishment realize.
Survival meant, positive steps to surmise.
"Tis said, "The brain, humanized by man,
computer wise, and sized,
Would fill all of the Empire State Bldg. as a huge
marvelous, wondrous, enterprise!
Scientists, Professors, and yes, Drs. too,
Can't even come close to understanding
all the magic the human brain can do!
I'm so thankful for this brain of mine.
Without it's magic I would have
disappeared in no time!
From infancy, I learned to
become quite adaptable!
In my head, I hated my mother's ugly ways,
but after "filtering" the ugliness thru my heart
of goodness,
and using my mind as a partner,
My Mean Mother became a "blur"
Then I could conjure, a kind loving "Her!"
Moodiness was her middle name.
Therefore, "Filtering" became a game.
Some days the filters collapsed, into fears & tears.
On her good days, my mind & heart would cheer!
Very young, "Filtering" became
my life saving career!
Now we understand,
why youngsters never snitch!
They have become experts at the switch!
Little hearts of love, "filter" out the bad.
So, what's left to tell?
Although, this is very sad, when harmful, hurtful,
abuse is filtered through little hearts of love,
Suddenly, everything is viewed as just, "Swell!"

Birth date of my Mother
"Sleep well, Mom
'Twas the only
time you had
any peace!"

What a sad revelation....
-----------------------------------
Your way of acceptance,
If only it'd work,
Could be patented and valued,
like anything on earth,
You'd have no enemies,
you'd filter them out,
You'd have a wonderful life
If you take that route.
